In a nutshell, a woman in a Suburban backed into my front end a few years ago. Here's the summary of events.....

Basically, after the repair, the HID cutoff lines are misaligned. You can adjust the vertical heights of the lines with a long screwdriver, but I don't think you can adjust the beams in any other way. My problem is that both of my cutoff lines aren't even straight (parallel to the ground) to begin with, but are curved like "frowns". Here's my post at HIDplanet.com - I'm still waiting on responses.....

Has anyone had their front end repaired and the HID lights never looked the same? Here are some pics.....

TIA.

 

It's supposed to be lower and dimmer on the left hand side. It's also supposed to have that dip in the middle. As you probably know...

The frown doesn't look right, but it could be the lot. Which isn't 100% level. Any other pictures in the gallery?

Also in the first picture, it doesn't look like the dip from the left headlight lines up with the dip from the right. Maybe if the dip was centered and in the middle the frown would go away. Have you considered going to the dealer, to get them adjusted to spec? $$$

These also show the "frown"

Yea, actually the driver side cutoff line is supposed to be parallel to the ground and the passenger side cutoff should be very slightly angled downward as it goes out. BUT, in that guy's pics, both beams are on top of each other. Mine is not and you can see the fuzziness at the edges. It isn't crisp and sharp.
